People will vary in their responses, but I think that not only is that not OK, but her having to watch the baby sister in the other room is not OK per se. How old is she?

I agree its not okay for her to be responsible for her baby sister while her mother's in the other room having sex. They should be polite and be discreet.

I agree, all answers will vary.

I think it's only appropriate to have sex while she is sleeping, not while she is awake. But that is just me from having to listen to my parents having sex, even when it was my bedtime (technically since I still live with them I still hear them. -_-)

I don't think it is ok. I think it would cause some psychological issues and Maybe some difficulties for the grandaughter when she starts to learn about sex. Unless the daughter is 18. Then she can understand what is going on and has the option to leave.

Ouch. Hugs to ya Doc.

Anyway, the parents should have the common sense to be discreet. The child has no idea what is going on, and possibly could be a fear inducing event ("What is happening to mommy?" sort of thing). They should have the decency to wait until the child is at least asleep, and even then, be quiet. Furthermore, the child shouldn't have to watch her baby sister so her parents can take a break to have sex. That's just...wrong. :/

I think it's absolutely not okay. I think it's disgusting. My mother used to leave her bedroom door open at night and I could not only hear but lie there and watch her having sex with her boyfriend. As the above person said it can be fear inducing, because at first when I was only hearing it I had no idea what was going on and thought something was wrong (it's probably funny now, but at the time I was terrified), but once I had worked out exactly what they were doing it repulsed me. I would wake up at 3-4am and have to lie there blocking my ears for half an hour so I wouldn't have to listen then, then I couldn't sleep afterwards because of what I knew they'd just done. Once they were doing it at around 6:30am and I was freaking out the whole time because I had to get up for school soon and was worrying my alarm would go off while they were in the middle of it (while both our doors were open).

Over 15 years later it still makes me sick.

I don't think her hearing them having sex is a problem. What's more of a concern is her looking after her baby sister.

Is this boyfriend, the father of your granddaughters?

Can't they wait, until the kids are asleep? I get the occasional, sneaking into the other room for a little quickie, husbands and wives do that sometimes, but honest to goodness....go watch your baby sister, while my boyfriend and I have sex? And she's got to be loud about it?!

Seriously, as a mom, when I had snuck into the other room with my then husband, it was about being discreet, if you know what I mean.

Save the loudness for a weekend get away...ai yai yai!!!

I don't think it's healthy. A child cannot differentiate between moans of pleasure and moans of pain. Could be scary at the very least.
I also agree with lycanthrope. I mean what is she thinking... you watch your little sister while i **** my bf?

I don't think it's a good idea.

As a parent who is recently divorced there is no way I would have sex and when my daughter might overhear it. Sleeping kids wake up in the middle of the night sometimes. It's a bit different when you are married and the parents of a child, you should still take measures to be discrete but they aren't always perfect. If that isn't the case you need to just do it when the kids aren't home.

My daughter is 13 and I am very discreet with my partner. Of course, she knows we are in an intimate relationship ... but I'm the adult and healthy boundaries are important. My kiddo doesn't need to "hear mom" in bed, etc. We've talked about sex (basic facts, etc.) and she is not sexually active at all - but I just think it would be inappropriate and unfair to her if I wasn't mindful of timeliness for intimate moments with my partner. I'm divorced and live in much smaller quarters now (apartment) - so when my daughter is with me...sex with my partner isn't part of the equation during those times.

It is just so strange - how does she get relaxed enough to moan with her older daughter almost present?

With little children, sure, I had sex next to sleeping babies and toddlers in a family bed; they rarely woke up (children are usually not insomniacs), but on the very few occasions when the children woke up, my then H and I stopped having sex so that I could nurse the baby/child back to sleep, and then resume. It never caused any problems. But with preteens/teens?

Also, and more importantly, how did YOU, the grandmother, come to learn of this? Were you present, on one occasion, alongside both girls while the couple was having sex? Or did the grand-daughter TELL you about hearing sex? Because if she TOLD you, then it answers the question - surely she must be feeling uncomfortable enough to share her discomfort with YOU.

Ultimately it depends on the ages of the grandchildren concerned, and the children concerned.

If one's 18 and the younger one is the sort of child who'd happily watch a tv program or play a cimputer game, and wouldn't even register a bomb going off outside, then what's the harm?

It's still not a perfect scenario admittedly.

No i don't think it's appropriate. If she's quite young how is she to know what's going on, she may mistake the noise for a threat to their safety. If she's older what's being done to help her cope with being exposed to such occasions - i presume this isn't the first time she's dealt with this? What's the deal with her being left to look after a younger sister? If something happens and she needs her mother is she just supposed to walk in on them and ask?

At what time is this happening? Does the older girl also have to make her sister dinner and/or put her to bed? Age is an important issue here - if the eldest is an adult then really it's her decision on how to deal with the issue and you'll just have to try and support her as best you can but i agree that in either case it's not an ideal situation. I hope everything resolves for the best.
